Drew for lan hour, wandered around for another 45 minutes, fired nerdy architecture questions at a volunteer for an hour and now I know loads more about the building, and I got to go beyond the rope up to the high altar to talk about the shrine that used to stand there

Pretty good day yay

A nice walk
A view from a battlemented wall high above a road stretching into the distance. In the background a large cathedral with three tall towers stands tall above many buildings. A tall medieval wall gate stands alive an empty street on a sunny morning. The gate has 6 windows of 2 lights each. A narrow cobbled alleyway lined with brick buildings lit by the morning sun. Several brick buildings with sash windows stands beside a flooded river on a sunny morning.

It's visible right into the northern renaissance, such as with Hans Memling's triptych of The Just Judgement. Strongly falls off with the various Protestant reformations.

It has no title- it's on the south nave wall of the Church of St James the Great, South Leigh, Oxfordshire. It's a depiction of the Archangel Michael weighing souls, common in medieval art. There are little demons trying to interfere with the scales, which is fun.

Good morning 🥹
A large brick house with tall narrow sash windows stands at the end of a green lawn scattered with tables and chairs. Behind the house stands a large cathedral lit by the morning sun against a clear blue sky.

Close up on the murals which I'm still super proud of
A section of the mural above the chevron-decorated arch. It depicts a central humanoid crow figure with outstretched wings streaked with gold. It has a bright halo behind its head and holds a long sword pointed downwards. Around it are gold stars on a blue background. To either side are two more crow figures, facing the centre. One in the left carries a gold harp, the other a gold chalice. They stand on a red backing. Between the three figures are 2 human figures on white on each side, much smaller. They look up at the central crow while holding daggers. The left portion of the murals, as seen past the glowing candles. In the upper section, a crow figure with a halo stands with a lowered sword and outstretched hand, facing two human figures who hold their hands up. Behind the crow is a stag. All stand on red backing. Below this section is another set beneath white thorns. A crow figure with outstretched wings carries a spear in a flame-like setting. Around it are small human figures looking up at it. The right portion of the murals. In the upper section, a crow figure with a halo and spear stands facing left with a hand raised. Behind it to the right is a large black dog. Facing the cross figure are two human figures: one kneels, presenting a dagger, another holds an open book. In the section below, separated by castle-like architectural elements in white, a crow figure with outstretched wings holds a chalice. They are surrounded in a circle by human figures with their hands in prayer.

The Crow's Judgement
A tall humanoid figure with a crow's head stands on a rocky outcrop. Its black feathers become black flowing robes. It has large iridescent wings stretched out to trigger side. In its left hand is a shining sword held almost over its head. From its right hand it holds a set of balancing metal scales, with two baskets. In the left and lower is a single feather. In the right and higher is a heart. Around the crow figure are three human-like figures dressed in long bright red robes. They have pale faces with glowing eyes and sharp teeth, and two long horns on each head. Each has a pair of brightly coloured wings of red, orange, and green. The figure on the left is attempting to upset the balance of the scales. The middle figure claws at the basket with the heart inside. The rightmost figure loosely holds gold coins in a hand raised towards the crow figure. Behind this scene is a landscape of many fields, paths, and woods stretching out into the distance. In the sky are distant storm clouds lit by an evening sun. Above these clouds and the wings of the crow are many bright stars.

Inspired by this beautiful surviving medieval painting, fitting for Michaelmas right?
A large rectangular medieval wall painting on a church interior wall. A depiction of the archangel Michael with outstretched angel wings, a raised sword, and a set of balancing scales stands in the centre of a square frame of white with red stars. To his left another robed and crowned figure stands. Around the scales, a few small demons can be seen. The painting is surrounded by a thick border of red and yellow painted foliage, Above it is another single section of border of white and yellow flowers.

As a big fan, he also deserves to be much more wildly known for all the other stuff he did beyond his patterns. Very cool guy for his time
